Travel Vaccinations

If you require any vaccinations relating to foreign travel you need to make an appointment with the practice nurse to discuss your travel arrangements. This will include which countries and areas within countries that you are visiting to determine what vaccinations are required.

There is further information about countries and vaccinations required on the links below

It is important to make this initial appointment as early as possible - at least 6 weeks before you travel.

Some travel vaccines are ordered on a private prescription and these incur a charge over and above the normal prescription charge. This is because not all travel vaccinations are included in the services provided by the NHS.

If you require any forms to be completed or signed you do not need to make an appointment with the doctor. Simply leave the form at reception and the staff will give this to the appropriate doctor. If necessary, the doctor will contact you to clarify any details or may request you to make an appointment.

The fees charged are based on the British Medical Association (BMA) suggested scales and our reception staff will be happy to advise you about them along with appointment availability.

Requests for Your Health Details

Travel Insurance

More and more insurance companies are asking for your health information when booking holiday cover. If you have any doubt about the significance of a specific area of your medical history, check with your usual doctor at an appointment, before completing the form.

Solicitors’ Letters

When a solicitor acting on your behalf asks for medical evidence, it is usual professional etiquette for him/her to write to your GP, stating the information required and including your written consent for the release of the information. ‘To whom it may concern’ letters will only be provided in exceptional circumstances after due consultation with your usual doctor.

Housing References

The borough housing department have long since refused to consider doctors’ letters in support of an individual’s application. Our practice policy is not to write housing reports as a consequence.
